IMHO, election reform is easily one of the three most important issues facing our society right now. Why? Because the Democratic and Republican parties -- the two parties who have
monopolized our government for decades upon decades, and who jointly
caused the current mess we're in -- have repeatedly proven that they are thoroughly and hopelessly
corrupt.
Thus, without meaningful election reform, no other meaningful reforms are possible!
How, then, do "we the people" reassert our rightful control over government?
First, those of us in the know must familiarize as many people as we can with the following material (all books are clickable):

Then we must urge those same people to join forces with us in a non-partisan, cross-ideological coalition to:
* Institute fair and equal
ballot access criteria.
* Enact both Congressman Ron Paul's
Freedom Debate Act and Senator Herb Kohl's
Weekend Voting Act.
* Repeal both the
Federal Election Campaign Act and
Bipartisan Campaign "Reform" Act.
* Institute
instant runoff voting for Presidential elections.
* Institute
proportional representation for Congressional elections.
* Mandate the use of
hand-counted paper ballots for
all elections.
* Require all election ballots to include a binding
NOTA option.
